Building openjade

In preparation for building local test rpms, I tried
yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"
and found that openjade was required but not available from
http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/mnt/koji/mash/15/
so, after a little Google action, I came across Matthew Burgess's patch
for openjade to make it build on gcc 4.6.0 at
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.lfs.beyond.support/42555
(there's probably a better URL for this.) His patch works in that it
corrects the problem with building openjade. I do not know whether the
code actually works.
I'm ignorant of the protocols for using patches found on the web, so I
don't know whether this can just be used. The real difficult is that
openjade was last built for Fedora 13, which was not a ppc Fedora
release, so there is no way to just carry the F13 rpm forward.
I hope this is helpful and that the list is the right place to report this.
